Meigs and Gallia counties landed a total of 17 people — 16 girls and one coach — on the District 13 Basketball Coaches Association teams for the 2013-14 campaign, as voted on by the coaches within the area.

Of the six schools within the Ohio Valley Publishing area, only Meigs and Gallia Academy failed to land more than one player on the list. Eastern led the way with seven selections, followed by Southern with four and both South Gallia and River Valley with two apiece.

Eastern senior Jenna Burdette captured her fourth consecutive Player of the Year honor in Division IV, and her father John was also named the D-4 Coach of the Year.

Classmates Jordan Parker, Erin Swatzel and Katie Keller were also first-team choices for EHS in D-4, while senior Maddie Rigsby and freshman Laura Pullins were respectively chosen to the second-team and special mention squads.

Southern — which finished with double-digit wins for the first time in a decade — landed senior Celestia Hendrix on the D-4 second team and were also represented on the special mention list by Cierra Turley, Ali Deem and Haley Hill.

South Gallia had a pair of players make the D-4 team as well, as senior Rachel Johnson and sophomore Mikayla Poling were each selected as special mention choices.

River Valley landed two players on the D-3 squad, with sophomore Leia Moore and junior Chelsea Copley each being chosen as a special mention choice.

Junior Kelsey Hudson represented Meigs as a special mention selection in D-3, while junior Micah Curfman was a second-team choice for Gallia Academy in the Division 1-2 category.

District 13 encompasses all the teams located in Lawrence, Jackson, Gallia, Meigs, Washington, Athens, Hocking and Vinton counties.
